Season 5 of SW begins with Joan trying to adjust to life without Ted [Dick Christie quit in a bitter creative dispute]. In the first of a 2-parter Joan, after hearing a story about an affair Ted, at a party saluting his winning an award for his work, had with someone named Marianne, who according to someone who told Joan, was a furrier by day and a jazz drummer by night. After Joan threw him out, she is informed that a despondent Ted had jumped of a bridge somewhere and fell to his death. At the funeral, Joan overhears Brandon and Art Jacobs [Sam Anderson] laugh at how they made up the story-no affair and no Marianne. When Brandon shows up at the Lawsons' Joan is so angry at Brandon that she throws objects at him while Jamie and Vicki try to stop. Brandon flees the house afterwards. Not even encouraging words from Jamie and Vicki soothe Joan, who has a breakdown at the end of part 1.
